“My far-left state senator” [Ceci Maher, Wilton] :
Dear Neighbor,
Federal ICE agents are terrorizing our Connecticut communities — and the human toll is devastating. Children are missing school, the meals that come with it, and the connection to their community. Families are too frightened to leave their homes to go to work, the hospital, a pharmacy, or even to visit the food pantry. Young children are living with a level of fear that no child should ever know.
That's why I was proud to vote in favor of Senate Bill 397, the Democracy and Government Accountability Act. This landmark legislation fights back against the unconstitutional abuses being carried out across our state.
It prohibits arrests for civil offenses in protected areas like schools, churches, and houses of worship, creates new legal tools to hold federal agents accountable, bans law enforcement from concealing their identities, empowers our Attorney General and Inspector General to act swiftly when rights are violated, and ensures that license plate reader data can't be weaponized against our neighbors.
Every person in Connecticut deserves to feel safe — in their home, in their child's school, on their own street. This bill is our commitment to making that true.
As our reader comments ….
Funny thing, though...I (and probably 99.99% of my fellow townsfolk whom she represents) don't need "protection" from ICE. I did not ask for any such protection. And she must know that the overwhelming majority of her constituents do not need such "protection". So, why is she so giddy? Is it for bragging rights at the next cocktail party that is full of people on "the right side of history"?
Maybe she's been encouraged by her daughter, who heads up NPR and fires staffers that express a diversity of opinion.
Sigh.

The daughter referred to is Katherine “Truth is a Distraction” Maher, who spent years as head censor at Wikipedia, assuring its far-left tilt, before joining NPR as its CEO:
Returning to Mama, I’ll also add this, having seen it on the senator’s website; an interesting claim, in view of her colleagues in the state house just upping the permissible THC content in gummies and children’s milk:
